Walk away from the vending machine—and let these crunchy kale chips satisfy any strong snack cravings you have on slow weekday afternoons.

These are simple, lovely to look at, and a revelation for anyone who thinks of Brussels sprouts as those evil little grey-green globes.

These Brussels sprouts were the easiest vegetable I've ever cooked (other than defrosting spinach). I think even children would eat them—just don't tell them what they are.

For ease, use the peeled baby carrots sold in plastic bags in the produce section of most supermarkets.
